percollate VS Readability4J

You can still choose automation. The easier route for me is to use wallabag to save the article. Then on my remarkable tablet I can grab a very readable document with https://github.com/koreader/koreader.

The other option is to use https://github.com/danburzo/percollate to convert a webpage to a nice document directly. I use both tools depending on my needs.

This function is just a simple combination with yt-dlp and percollate.

If someone hasn't already done this and I can't figure out how they are converting HTML, I have also considered using Percollate to convert, then sending to ReMarkable via rmapi.

The Cli Tool Percollate offers a different approach, but is also very good: https://github.com/danburzo/percollate

Concerning pdf there is the well known wkhtmltopdf , but let me say that I love the not so well known percollate

Since I'm working on a similar project, this is how I am planning to pull content from the web, utilizing percollate[1] to get the HTML content, I haven't written any implementation for this in Python yet.

If you don't mind me asking, how were you going to implement spaced repetition? Since the Incremental Reading algorithm has never been published as far as I know.

Depending upon the type of content, one might want to look into using the Readability (Browder's reader view) to parse the webpage. It will give you all the useful info without the junk. Then you can put it in the DB as needed.

Btw, readability, is also available in few other languages like Kotlin:

My Hacker News client HACK for iOS and Android has a reader mode ability browser. While on iOS, I was able to use the reader mode feature provided by SFSafariViewController, that wasn't available on android.

So I had to read a ton about this. I ended up using a heavily modified Kotlin version of Readability:

Not sure about OP but I just implemented this in my Hacker News android client (thanks for the idea OP).

This is how I implemented it. I had already achieved article to "reader mode" by heavily customizing the Kotlin port of Mozilla‘s Readability:

Then I pass the text via Android's TextToSpeech library and it works very well:

    fun trySpeaking(str:String){
